Following H5N1, pandemics, our response, & the response environment, since Qinghai in 2005. Enjoying afternoon tea until civilization falls.

A USF professor and nurse from Nigeria has been in ICE custody for 2 months. She no longer appears in the database but might be in Louisiana. She had a protection from removal order/no record. This is inhumane we must get these people out of detention.

If Hakeem Jeffries can't manage this simply vote...how the hell is he going to be Speaker of the House?
Kamlager-Dove on Hegseth Impeachment: We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues.
You know this man should not be in this position. That’s why he got up at 8 o’clock in the morning with his sorry self to plead to the American people.
So shame on folks who are not here. Because these people lost. They lost, and they still found a way to show up to table this bill. Shameful.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent to a foreign gulag in El Salvador and only one Democratic elected official went to visit him.
This is why we stand with @VanHollenForMD for Senate Majority Leader.

When a human, mink, pig or Dairy-Cow-Udder become co-infected with H1 and Avian H5 = a “recombination”
This “gain-of-function” event has been celebrated as “natural infection” by RFK and Aaron Siri
=flu with ability to infect humans who have little protection
Summary of the H5N1 situation.
The USDA is now reporting infected herds in 6 states (up from just 1 or 2 states not that long ago).

Nothing says change like re-electing a 75 year old man who has been in political office for 52 years.

“Today’s rich people are richer than ever, and that seems to have made them worse than ever. More shameless. More out of touch. Less empathetic. Thinner-skinned. And, for some mysterious reason, angrier. They’re people who consider equality for others oppression for themselves.”

America: we’ve had enough of the MAGA cult of radical extremists.
Republicans: let’s elevate Stephen Miller & Jim Jordan—the biggest extremists of them all.

It’s outrageous. Beyond belief. And what was leadership doing to make sure members were getting their asses to the floor?

ICE detained USF professor and Bay Area nurse Dr. Ann Lawani at her home and took her away in shackles. That was 8 week ago! A judge blocked her deportation to Nigeria.
She oversees 200+ nursing students. Rep. Harder says she complied with immigration requirements and was moved through multiple states to Louisiana in violation of a court order.
Trump’s ICE says it targets public safety threats. She’s a hospice nurse. nbcbayarea.com/news/local/an… #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #press #ICE #Immigration #BayArea #USF #Nurses

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.
